Sorry -- not with you on that one. Kindly explain.

The recumbent was quarried . If it was an erratic too then the quarying would have had to have been pre Holocene and therefore before any evidence of human habitation/quarrying in that area .
Sorry -- your certainty is impressive, but I still don't follow you and am still waiting for you to explain....

Thanks Moth , I knew it was somewhere . To be fair it does get a bit cluttered on this thread ,a bit like a sarsen drift maybe .
